Nikki Haley Tells U.N. Where They Can Stick Their Sanctions on North Korea

North Korea THINKS they know what they’re doing but they don’t. They clearly don’t know the sort of hell we would bring to their stain of a country… And yet they persist on developing nukes and testing their capabilities meanwhile most of their country is starving…
